Felix covered his mouth to hold back a laugh at the way Hyunjin was squirming around. Hyunjin often played off his energetic hyper moves with little dances no matter where he was.
It was cute. He watched as Hyunjin got all pouty when he was scolded by Minho, biting back a laugh.
When they were done with their schedule for the day, Hyunjin’s energy had expired and he was leaning all over Felix tiredly, face buried into the back of his neck, arms locked around him in a back hug.
“Tired.” Hyunjin mumbled before yawning widely.
Felix shuddered at the warmness of his breath against the back of his neck.
“Just waiting for the cars now, Jinnie.” Felix said soothingly, patting his hand.
By the time they got home, Hyunjin was cuddled into Felix’s shirt, licking at his neck slowly as he fell asleep. Felix was so used to the comfort of Hyunjin’s body and habits he felt his own eyes closing, almost out of instinct. Felix loved how safe he felt with the other boy.
Hyunjin woke up with a start. Way too warm, as he usually was when he fell asleep inside Felix’s shirt.
He squirmed down carefully, untucking his head from the bottom of his shirt and staring at Felix for a while, tamping down the urge to wake him because he wanted to play. He tried to get off the bed as slowly as possible to not wake the other, jumping slightly when Felix reached an arm behind him.
“ Warm .”
Hyunjin smiled, shuffling closer and encasing the other in a back hug, nosing around the back of his hair.
He waited until Felix was asleep before letting out an excited squeak and then biting down at the hair at the nape of his neck.
He hummed softly to himself as he chewed gently at the ends of his hair, letting out a few happy squeaks at the comforting gesture.
He loved grooming Felix, and loved the way his scent would linger until Felix showered. It was a habit Felix didn’t know about and Hyunjin intended to keep it that way.
There had been a few close calls but Hyunjin had managed to keep his habit a secret.
Felix blinked awake slowly, staring in front of him for a few seconds as his eyebrows scrunched together.
There was something warm and wet at the back of his neck, gently tugging at his hair.
Was that- Hyunjin?
What was he doing?
Felix blinked, realisation dawning on him.
“Hyunjin-” The ferret hybrid paused behind him.
“Are you biting my hair? ” Felix asked incredulously.
“No!” Hyunjin said, letting go of the hair he had caught between his teeth and pulling back quickly.
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah.”
Felix reached back and felt the dampness at the hair on the nape of his neck before twisting around to face a guilty looking Hyunjin.
Felix took in his worried face, the bottom lip caught between his teeth and sighed gently, eyes softening.
“What are you up to, hm?”
“Nothing! Really!”
Felix just tilted his head to the side, raising his eyebrows slightly.
Hyunjin pouted.
“I was just- just grooming you.” Hyunjin mumbled out incoherently.
“Grooming me? But you were - uh - biting my hair?” Felix said, confused.
“I- it’s weird and gross-” Hyunjin cut himself off as Felix pinched his nose and shot him a look.
Hyunjin pouted again, “sorry.”
“No being mean to yourself.” Felix said sternly.
“It- It’s just grooming. Ferrets lick and bite themselves to groom, and, and I was just doing it to you.” Because you’re my mate, Hyunjin’s brain supplied. Hyunjin shut his brain up.
“Cute.” Felix said with a gentle smile.
Hyunjin blushed, looking down as he heart swelled with affection. Felix . He was just so accepting, no matter how strange Hyunjin was.
“Do you normally wait until I’m asleep?
“Uh-”
“You can do it whenever.” Felix said, cutting off Hyunjin’s clear panic.
Hyunjin squeaked excitedly and nodded, springing forward and hugging Felix happily as he let out happy little squeaks.
“Thank you Felix.”
“As long as my ferret hybrid gets what he wants, yeah?”
Hyunjin squeaked happily again, licking at Felix’s cheeks.
He immediately squirmed so he could get at the nape of his neck again, squeaking contentedly as he bit down, pleased that he could get his scent all over Felix without worrying about being caught.
